Urge to respect privacy

The cricketing world was recently set abuzz by the unexpected marriage of veteran Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Malik to actress Sana Javed. This development took place amidst rumours and reports surrounding Shoaib’s separation from his second wife and Indian tennis sensation Sania Mirza.

In the wake of Shoaib’s recent marriage to Sana, inquiries emerged regarding his relationship status with Sania, as the couple had not officially announced a divorce. However, shortly after Shoaib disclosed his union with Sana, Sania’s father clarified that his daughter has already sought a ‘Khula’ from the Pakistani all-rounder.

It is noteworthy that Sania and Shoaib entered into matrimony on April 12, 2010, and their family expanded in 2018 with the birth of their son.

Amidst escalating speculations and rumours, Sania’s family has now broken their silence and issued an official statement regarding the situation through an Instagram post by Sania’s sister, Anam Mirza.
